Birth Name:
Scarlett Johansson
Birth Place:
New York City, USA
Ethnicity:
Jewish-Polish, Russian and Danish
The star of the movie Lost in Translation was born to a Jewish-American Mother and a Danish-born Father.
She regards herself as Jewish however she also celebrates Christmas as well as Hanukkah. She holds both American and Danish citizenship.
She mentioned in an interview that she has Jewish Polish heritage. Here is an excerpt from an Polish Interview translated by zuzanna:
GALA: Do you came from family with polish roots?
S.J: We came from Polish Jews and probably Russian (this has been confirmed). But really I don’t know very good a tree of my family. My ancestors emigrated from Poland during the World War II and that was a dramatic decision. …. I remember from my childhood that my mother reminded me about my Polish family. I am very proud of my origin. Not only from the Polish. From my dad’s side I am Danish.
Scarlett’s maternal grandmother Dorothy is of Jewish Russian heritage.

Johansson is a Swedish surname. But she is part Russian Jewish & Polish Jewish. Danish people can have Swedish descent. My grandma was born in Denmark.

Johansson…. Son of Johan. That’s Swedish. It would be interesting if Scarlett traced back her family tree a little bit more. She’d probably come up with a rich potpourri of an ethnic background. Whatever it is, she’s gorgeous!!!
